New owner of Darksiders IP keen to speak with original creators about Darksiders 3 - The new owner of the Darksiders IP is keen to speak with the series' creators about making Darksiders 3.Overnight publisher and distributor Nordic Games emerged as a surprise victor in the latest THQ asset sale, picking up Darksiders, Red Faction, the ill-fated uDraw, MX vs. ATV, Destroy All Humans, Summoner and many more for just 4.9 million. * +

Speaking exclusively with Eurogamer today in a phone interview, Nordic Games Group owner and CEO Lars Wingefors said the company had no intention of developing Darksiders 3 itself. Instead, it wants a studio with a proven track record to do it. We are not a developer, he said. We should not create a sequel. We need to find the best creative team to look into a sequel. We will look into various options to make sequels. * +

In the last 24 hours we have been approached by people who seem to know that product very well. However, if those discussions lead anywhere, I don't know. Darksiders creator and developer Vigil Games went out of business when publisher and owner THQ went bankrupt. However, just a few days later Crysis developer Crytek stepped in, forming Crytek USA in Austin, Texas, and picking up many former Vigil staff, including ex-CEO David Adams. * +

Adams had expressed his desire to pick up the Darksiders IP in a tweet, but as it turned out Nordic were the only ones to lodge a bid. But there is still hope that the creators of the much-loved action series may get a stab at a third game. Without saying we have been in contact with Crytek USA, I'd love to do something with them if we can find the right set-up, Wingefors said. If they can prove they can make a worthwhile sequel, why shouldn't we talk? * +

I have a great respect for those guys. They made very good games. But I'm sure they have a full agenda. Making games takes time. When asked whether Crytek USA was top of his list of potential Darksiders 3 developers, Wingefors replied: They are the best-suited people in the world to make a sequel, that I'm aware of. But if someone else has a better set-up, they should step forward. He continued: We take one day at a time. I'm sure we'll get the chance to speak. * +
